Chapter 6

Zhenyu skipped class again today.

She woke up naturally in the morning, then lay in bed, browsing Bilibili, and scrolling through comments.

The video she posted yesterday already had over a thousand replies, which made Zhenyu very satisfied—her popularity was still strong!

However, the number of haters was also increasing.

After blocking a few accounts that clearly came to stir up trouble, Zhenyu got up.

After washing up, she changed into a cute Japanese JK uniform, put on knee-high black stockings, and stepped into round-toed leather shoes, then began to organize her equipment for today's outing.

A Canon EOS R5 camera, fully charged, a tripod, two Huawei phones, one Apple phone, two Audio-Technica headphones, and a 20,000 mAh power bank.

Then came the makeup bag, a sun umbrella, a pepper spray, and some snacks...

She put everything into a cute Pikachu backpack.

As a female streamer and UP主 with a million followers, Zhenyu had very high standards for her equipment, aiming to present the best possible results to her fans.

Where should she go to shoot videos today?

Oh right, she heard that Wanda had just opened a new Japanese restaurant. After finishing work, she could go and try it out, and do a food review live stream.

Leaving the dormitory, Zhenyu got on her beloved electric scooter, planning to buy some sweets first, but before she left the campus, it started raining pink.

How romantic!

Zhenyu made a quick decision and headed to the soccer field covered with grass, preparing to shoot a video.

Just as she arrived and set up the tripod, she saw a commotion on the basketball court.

Some college students had mutated into monsters.

At first, Zhenyu thought it was a prank and planned to film some footage for later use, but then she saw a monster with a large head and green skin sticking its tongue into a female student's mouth.

How disgusting.

Shouldn't she run?

Was she waiting to die?

Zhenyu just got on her pink electric scooter, preparing to escape, when a muscular guy in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey grabbed her arm and pulled her off.

Then he got on his own scooter, which he had bought less than half a year ago, and sped off.

How despicable!

Are you disgracing Kobe?

You don't deserve to be a Lakers fan!

Zhenyu complained, now without her ride, she had to run like the other students.

Why was her luck so bad?

Two monsters were chasing her.

Is it because I'm too beautiful?

Zhenyu rushed into Building B, trying to use the complex terrain to escape the monsters' sight, but the monsters were faster than she had estimated.

Swish!

A monster pounced, grabbing her Pikachu backpack and pulling her down.

Bang!

Zhenyu fell to the ground, instinctively grabbing the Canon camera hanging around her neck, but hesitated and didn't throw it.

It's too expensive!

The monster's mouth opened wide, and a thick, leech-like tongue extended.

"Finished, I'm going to die!"

Zhenyu froze, but at that moment, a tall guy rushed to her side, holding a gold and red baseball bat, and smashed it into the monster's head.

Bang!

The monster's head exploded, and the headless body fell on top of Zhenyu, making her skin crawl.

"Run!"

The guy shouted and charged towards the second monster.

Reason told Zhenyu to run, but her eyes couldn't leave the tall guy's back. She instinctively raised her phone and took photos.

Click! Click!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Through the camera, Zhenyu saw the guy swinging the bat with all his might, and the monstrous creature being brutally beaten.

Wow!

Even with special effects!

Each time the bat hit the monster, it exploded, with flesh flying and sparks dancing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The monster's screams, the sound of the bat, the explosions, and the heavy breathing of the senior student mixed together.

Zhenyu's soul trembled; she felt this was the most passionate battle song, making her skin crawl with excitement.

Click! Click!

Zhenyu's hands didn't shake, striving for the perfect shot, while her body twisted to find the best angle.

Countless ideas burst in her mind.

Zhenyu instantly thought of dozens of short video ideas.

"His batting stance is so cool!"

If I start a studio, I'll definitely sign him as my assistant.

Sun Yuan killed two spore people, turned around, and saw the girl in a JK uniform and black stockings not only hadn't run away but was taking photos with her camera, her face flushed with excitement.

"Crazy?"

Sun Yuan frowned.

From her appearance, she seemed to be a fan of anime and cosplay.

[You have killed two spore people, +20 points.]

"You're the crazy one!"

Zhenyu instinctively retorted, then remembered he had saved her and quickly apologized: "Uh, senior, thank you!"

"How do you know I'm older than you?"

Sun Yuan was curious.

"Because I don't like people my age!"

Zhenyu's expression was very serious.

"Huh?"

Sun Yuan was taken aback. Was he being flirted with?

"Senior, you were so brave just now!"

Zhenyu laughed, making a heart with her thumb and index finger.

"..."

Sun Yuan didn't know how to respond.

This gesture, which would usually seem artificial and fake when done by other girls, looked incredibly sweet and cute on this doll-faced freshman.

Her light blue school uniform, paired with a white sailor outfit and a red tie loosely tied, revealed her white neck.

When she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and her dyed brown hair was styled into two pigtails.

Unfortunately, her chest was flat.

"Senior, aren't you going to ask my name? That's very impolite!"

Zhenyu teased, walking to a spore person and taking photos.

"Find a place to hide, the world has gamified!"

Sun Yuan reminded her and turned to leave.

Zhenyu immediately followed: "Don't you recognize me?"

"Nangong Yuer?"

Sun Yuan didn't watch live streams much, but his roommates did and even tipped their favorite streamers.

Nangong Yuer, a game streamer on SharkTV, occasionally danced as a reward for her fans, and was also a UP主 on Bilibili, known for her creative videos.

"Hehe!"

Hearing the senior call her by her nickname, Zhenyu was delighted.

It seems my fame is indeed great!

But it's a pity, he's probably not my fan; otherwise, he would have been very excited to meet me in person.

"Run for your life quickly. The monsters don't care if you're a popular streamer or how beautiful you are. Once they catch you, they'll implant eggs."

Sun Yuan advised.

"What about you?"

Zhenyu was curious and followed Sun Yuan out of the building.

This senior had no intention of running. When he saw a monster at one o'clock, he immediately charged forward.

"Are you serious? So brave?"

Zhenyu was shocked.

She had seen all sorts of chaos on her way from the soccer field, but this was the first time she saw a student bravely confront a monster.

"So cool!"

Zhenyu muttered, raising her Canon camera again, but quickly frowned. She couldn't capture the senior's face!

Despite only facing each other for less than two minutes, Zhenyu had already sized up Sun Yuan's face.

Very delicate!

If she were to score him out of 100, his natural look would get 75, and with makeup and better clothing, he could reach 85.

But none of that mattered!

Just the courage to face the monster with a baseball bat was enough to win fans, even if he was a bit ugly.

Spore eggs that had just implanted were less powerful, like newborns. As the spore eggs fully parasitized, the spore people would develop into mature forms, becoming much more formidable.

So now was the best time to kill spore people and earn points.

This was a female college student spore person, wearing shorts and bare legs, with one sandal missing. Her figure was quite good.

But the swollen head and green skin were disgusting.

Spore people in the early stage had poor vision and relied on hearing and smell to catch prey. Sensing Sun Yuan's approach, it immediately ran towards him.

Sun Yuan didn't rush to attack.

Within seconds, the distance between them closed to three meters.

Swish!

The spore person pounced.

Sun Yuan was waiting for this moment. He took a step to the right to dodge, then swung the explosive bat at the spore person's head.

This was a fight, so the Street Fighter glove effect activated.

Sun Yuan's physical attributes instantly tripled.

His bat swung even faster.

Bang!

The bat hit the monster's head, blasting it apart.

[You have killed a spore person, +10 points.]

"Senior, how many of these monsters have you killed? Why are you so skilled?"

Zhenyu was shocked.

Weren't we all just seeing these monsters for the first time? Why do you seem so familiar with their behavior? And what's with that bat?

"This is called talent!"

Sun Yuan casually brushed her off.

In reality, it was the monster-killing experience accumulated from playing "Advancing Civilization" for three years. He knew the monsters' attack patterns inside and out.

"Senior, you're so strong. Can I temporarily join you?"

Zhenyu showed a sweet smile, making a heart with her thumb and index finger: "I give you a heart!"
